no Offers 20 viewers

people are seeing a relatively low price for the general area so booking a viewing, then seeing a flat that is smaller than they expected, and so the price suddenly seems too high.

lower the price...

I had a similar number of viewings and no offer for a few months, which then fell through. 10 months later I had an offer from the first couple who viewed.

why not put in a lower offer though?

Is it marketed as "offers over £xxx"? If it is, that might be putting people off offering a lower price.

Without a link its hard to give any reasonable advice other than its probably on for too much.

Is there perhaps a disappointment factor when viewers arrive? I ask because my friend had a nice house for sale at a reasonable price but had 40 viewings (all in quick succession over a couple of weeks I might add) before she sold. I think her problem was the agent had taken the photos with a wide angle lens and although the rooms were not bad, they looked huge in the photos, so when people got there I think they felt disappointed, and this led to a negative viewing experience. It's better if people know what they are getting beforehand.

Also, does the agent rush people into booking appointments when they aren't really sure? I think it's best if people can drive by and get an idea what the area is like before booking a viewing. I got really annoyed when feedback after viewings on my house said they didn't like the mix of houses on the road, or it was too near the main road etc. (You knew that before I spent all day tidying up after two little kids!!!!)

Adding - both my house and my friend's sold at only a couple of thousand off the asking prices in the end, so they were worth the price, but not everybody wanted to buy them!
